Introduction

Customizing the menu button in your Telegram Mini App allows you to create a more intuitive and personalized user experience. This guide will walk you through the process of customizing the menu button, ensuring that your app is both functional and visually appealing.

Step 1: Access the Menu Button API

Telegram provides the MainButton API to customize the appearance and behavior of the menu button. Ensure your Mini App is set up with the Telegram Web Apps API by following the Telegram Web Apps documentation.

Step 2: Customizing the Button

You can customize the text, color, and visibility of the menu button using the following code:

if (window.Telegram.WebApp) {

const mainButton = window.Telegram.WebApp.MainButton;

// Set button text

mainButton.setText('Start Game');

// Set button color

mainButton.color = '#FF5733';

// Show the button

mainButton.show();

}

In this example, the button text is set to “Start Game,” the color is customized, and the button is made visible to users.

Step 3: Handling Button Actions

To respond to user interactions with the menu button, you can add an event listener:

mainButton.onClick(function() {

// Your action here

console.log('Button clicked!');

});

This ensures that when the button is clicked, your app can respond appropriately.

Customizing the menu button in your Telegram Mini App allows you to create a more engaging and user-friendly experience. Whether you’re launching a game or guiding users through your app, a well-customized button makes all the difference.
